But when his Portuguese partner left for the Seria A this summer, Benzema realized that he had step up and take up more goalscoring responsibilities and the 30-year-old has impressed with his performances in the Spanish top flight so far.
The Frenchman has been one of the top performers in the La Liga this season, bagging an incredible 4 goals in 3 appearances and helping Los Blancos to earn a brilliant start to the campaign. With such a great form, only time will tell how far the striker will go during the term.
